The sons of two NBA icons have found out that having famous daddies won’t get them everywhere as Bronny James and Shareef O’Neal, sons of LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal, were shooed away from a swanky Hollywood shindig on Monday night.
The two basketball players had plans to party it up at rapper Saweetie’s birthday bash at Poppy Monday and probably never imagined they would be turned down given that they’re the sons of basketball royalty. As it turns out, they were wrong.
TMZ is citing a credible source who claims the youngsters were unable to get through the front door as security denied their whole group entry.
Bronny is already 18, while Shareef is 23, so the rejection couldn’t have been a result of their ages. More than likely, they weren’t on the guest list and security made no exemptions.
They shouldn’t feel too bad, though. Michael Jordan was once refused entry into Dwyane Wade’s party.

Bronny has committed to USC and will suit up for the Trojans next season. He is expected to declare for the NBA Draft in 2024 and is a projected first-round pick. LeBron has made it a goal to play alongside his son, so it should make for an interesting story.
Shareef, meanwhile, plays for the G League’s Ignite after going undrafted last year.
